Hi!

My cooling system isent working properly.
When its fine the temp is 25-30C when im not gaming and 45-50C when im gaming. 
But some times when i start my computer the temp starts at 50C and can go up to 90-94C when im gaming. 
 
Im not overclocking my card and its 2-3 years old 

What can be the problem it working fine sometimes and sometimes its not. can it be that the liquid dosent go around sometimes or what? 
Please help!

    Hi Patrikfornow,
     
    Sorry this happens with your 1080 FTW Hybrid.  Do you notice a pump noise?  If there is a pump noise, there may be air trapped in the pump.  Try removing the GPU, and dispersing any air, by shaking the GPU, then radiator for about 30-60 seconds each.  Next, install the radiator to the case roof (optimal).  If the radiator is mounted vertically, make sure the tubing is on top of the radiator.

    What the heck. This is just bad advice.  The rad optimally should be mounted vertically with the hoses/tubing ON THE BOTTOM. Avoid horizontal, case roof, if at all possible.  However it is better than hoses on top of the rad or mounted on the bottom of the case below the  GPU.

    If i take the fan/radiator out and turn so the hoses are upp end then doun i can hear a thick liquid moving around but only in the rad if i take the rad below the card the air dosent go upp so it fells like there is a clog or someting and the liquid sounds and feal like its not that smuth but thick... can i change the liquid in it?

    it would be recommended that you tilt the card so the air gets trapped in the radiator, and if it proceeds to make noise and thermal throttle, you may want to check the coolant to air ratio aka water level

    Well you can shake it and guess or you can open the cooler
